The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), a not-for-profit organization, was founded to define transaction processing and database performance benchmarks, such as the TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-W benchmarks, and to disseminate objective performance data based on those benchmarks. TPC benchmarks have extremely stringent requirements, and must undergo an independent audit. Council members include most major database vendors and suppliers of server hardware systems.
Companies participate in TPC benchmarking for an objective demonstration of performance in a regulated environment, and to apply technologies used in the testing process to produce more robust and scalable software and hardware products.
TPC-W simulates the activities of a business-oriented transactional Web server. The workload is performed in a controlled Internet commerce environment and exercises a breadth of system components associated with such an environment.
The performance metric reported by TPC-W is the number of Web interactions processed per second. Multiple Web interactions are used to simulate the activity of a retail store, and each interaction is subject to a response time constraint. The store size is chosen from among a set of given scale factors, which is the number of items in inventory and varies from 1,000 items to 10,000,000 items.
